Apple on Tuesday officially took the wraps of the iPhone X, the company’s most exciting iPhone in years. It features a 5.8-inch OLED display, improved camera, and facial recognition for authenticating payments. By all accounts, it’ll be the smartphone to beat when it launches on November 3—but Samsung’s Note 8 certainly has a lot to say.

Samsung’s Note 8 features many of the same things Apple just announced for the iPhone X. In some cases, the Note 8 is superior to the iPhone X because it features a stylus, a larger display, and a more affordable price. But this is Apple we’re talking about, and it’s never as easy as comparing one of its devices with a competitor’s.

You can see how these two stack up on paper in the chart down below.
